Definitely it will be useful. For quite sometime, I was thinking about: 1. Creating test cases for each BTRFS features. (ex: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Scrub_corruption_cases) 2. Automate these feature specific test scripts using bash/python while maintaining them in public git repos. 3. Launching BTRFS test machines in cloud (aws spot instance are very cheap) . 4. Run those feature specific tests and publish the results into wiki or/and bugs into bugzilla. 5. Destroy the test machines.
Such setup will require quite good effort. As Qu mentioned, the challenging part will be integrating existing different tests and make it automatic. Another thought on BTRFS testing: At this moment, when someone sends a patch - i assume, they automatically pushed into patchwork.kernel.org (based on some back-end configuration I guess). On Btrfs mailing-list,we have lot of bug reports so using something like [1] we can write a program which parses mailing-list for specific keyword like "BUGREPORT:<bug description>" similar to "PATCH:<patch description>" and create a new bug or update the details on bugzilla.kernel.org? This will ensure we can keep track of bugs on bugzilla. I think updating bugs based on mailing-list responses will be little tricky than creating new bugs. something like that can be useful as well. I can help a bit on such testbed setup :-) Thanks! ---- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G http://www.giis.co.in http://www.webminal.org On Mon, Aug 14, 2017 at 6:31 AM, Cerem Cem ASLAN <cerem...@ceremcem.net> wrote: > Would that be useful to build a BTRFS test machine, which will perform > both software tests (btrfs send | btrfs receive, read/write random > data etc.) and hardware tests, such as abrupt power off test, abruptly > removing a raid-X disk physically, etc. > > If it would be useful, what tests should it cover? > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
